Broward County Commissioner Dale Holeness awarded the 24-year-old rapper, whose real name is Bill Kapri, with the proclamation of his birthday, last Friday (June 11) being recognized as Kodak Black Day in the rapper’s hometown. Kodak Black received the award during a charity basketball game in Coral Springs, which raised $5,000 to benefit the Lippman Youth Shelter. The proclamation lists some of the “Tunnel Vision” rapper’s accomplishments and charitable contributions over the last few years, including donating a years’ supply of diapers, socks and underwear to the Jack & Jill Children’s Center. There’s also citing of Kodak contributing $100,000 to the families of FBI agents who have passed away, including money for scholarships for the fallen agents’ children. He noted how the honor means more to him than the music he has recorded, which has gone platinum.
